CHOMUTOV, Czech Republic (Interstat) — DSK will host Chartres Thursday in a Eurocup Women women’s professional basketball game at Chomutov in Chomutov, Czech Republic. Chartres comes in as the visiting team with an 8-17 season record, while DSK is 14-20. The matchup gives DSK a home opportunity in Eurocup Women play and a chance to avenge a recent loss to Chartres.

Chartres will look to Assitan Kone, a player to watch in the contest. In her most recent performance, Kone scored 23 points and collected six rebounds in 20 minutes, helping Chartres to a 74-67 win at La Tronche Meylan. That result was Chartres’s most recent previous game and gave the team a road victory before its trip to Chomutov. Chartres has had an uneven season overall, but Kone’s production provides a clear focal point for the visiting side.

The most recent head-to-head meeting between the teams went to Chartres, which defeated DSK 80-66. DSK’s most recent game was that same loss at Chartres. In that contest, Mia Heide, Karoline Striplin and Chloe Moore McNeil were DSK’s most productive players. DSK will need those contributors to help set the tone at home as it tries to reverse the earlier result.

DSK enters with a 14-20 record and has played a full schedule against strong competition. DSK’s other recent results this season include games against SBS Ostrava, Lokomotiva, Basket Ostrava, Sokol HK, Slovanka and Brandys nad Labem. Chartres’s other results this season include matchups with Landes, La Roche Vendee, Lyon, Villeneuve, Flammes, Landerneau, Montpellier and Toulouse. Both teams will be seeking a strong performance in the Eurocup Women matchup.

After Thursday, DSK’s schedule includes games against KP Brno, Brandys nad Labem, Slovanka, Basket Ostrava, SBS Ostrava, Lokomotiva, Sokol HK, Zabiny Brno, KP Brno again and Brandys nad Labem again. The home side will aim to carry momentum from Chomutov into that stretch. Chartres, meanwhile, will try to build on its road win at La Tronche Meylan and use Kone’s recent form to challenge DSK.

DSK’s home setting could play a role in the matchup, and the team will look to its most productive players from the last meeting to guide the effort. Chartres will counter with Kone, whose scoring and rebounding were on display in the team’s most recent outing. The game is part of the Eurocup Women schedule and will be played in Chomutov, Czech Republic, with DSK at home and Chartres on the road.
